Hello!

I just started to make an ASDF layout for the Innuktitut syllabics
characters (in association with Fontboard). The syllabic charcters are
assigned to their (closest match) Innuit Latin keys (*a* on A, *pa* on P,
...) as follows:

VOWELS:
*ai* (e) E *i* I *u* (o) U *a* A

INDEPENDENT CONSONANT
*h* O

-*AI* SYLLABLES
*pai* <SH>B *tai* <SH>D *kai* <SH>G *gai* (tse) <SH>J
*mai* <SH>? *nai* <SH>~ *sai* <SH>Z *lai* <SH>|
*jai* (ye) <SH>F *vai* (fe) <SH>V *rai* <SH>Q *lhai*
(lhe) <SH>{

-*I* SYLLABLES
*pi* B *ti* D *ki* G *gi* (tsi) J *mi* / *ni*
` *si* Z *li* \
*ji* (yi) F *vi* (fi) V *ri* Q *lhi* [

-*U* SYLLABLES
*pu* <SH>P *tu* <SH>T *ku* <SH>K *gu* (tso) <SH>C
*mu* <SH>M *nu* <SH>N *su* <SH>S *lu* <SH>L
*ju* (yo) <SH>Y *vu* (fo) <SH>W *ru* <SH>R *lhu* (lho)
<SH>}

-*A* SYLLABLES
*pa* P *ta* T *ka* K *ga* (tsa) C *ma* M *na*
N *sa* S *la* L
*ja* (ya) Y *va* (fa) W *ra* R *lha* ]

There are quite a few *missing* syllablics characters:
·The character for the syllable *lhai* (lhe) (like a horizontally mirrored
*lhi*, or a rotated *lha*)
·The characters for the entire *sp*- series (shown on Wikipedia’s article
on UCAS as copies of ZESS, Z, N, and Russian Cyrillic I-OBROTNOYE)
Where would y’all think about where to place these still-missing UCAS
characters?!?!
Thank You!
